This tiny online course was inspired by the fact that I had to give students a refresher on Design Methods in the last year of the bachelor program in Spatial Design at the Lucerne School of Art and Design.

Thanks to Klaus Marek for inviting me to teach there and for all the students of the Spatial Design program.
